World's oldest plant is 13,000 years old

Very cool!

yes, thanks for posting!

It is pretty amazing that an individual organism can have such a large evolutionary change within it's own body to survive. It almost seems appropriate that it loses the ability to reproduce to gain(seemingly) immortality.

Wonderful tree

Wow, pretty amazing stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the oldest living "plant" was over in an asian country (China, Japan, I can't remember) and is a tree that was 25,000 years old?

Now THATS cool!

Never heard of that one particularly. For trees, the oldest one currently is out of Sweden which is around 9,550 years old. Also, it was believed pine trees in Tasmania is dated older than 10,000 years according to National Geographic. That was back in 2008. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/04/080414-oldest-tree.html
